Ce dernier tome de la trilogie de l’Héritage de N.K. Jemisin nous permet de suivre le dieu Sieh que nous avons rencontré dans le premier ouvrage de cette série.
C’est un vrai plaisir de se replonger dans l’univers créé par l’auteure. Ce livre est le plus faible des trois au niveau du développement de l’intrigue et cela malgré sa longueur. Il reste très agréable à lire et conclut la trilogie de manière très satisfaisante.

Love how each book is far enough apart from the previous to deal with the ramifications of the previous. And how the world adapts to the changes.

This book was, ultimately, the satisfying tieing-off of many loose strings left from the first and second books. But I could frankly have done without it, because it was least enjoyable of all three: it felt jumbled, without a clear direction. Only at the very end I understood what the narrative wanted to establish -- perhaps it is better when reread. Unfortunately, I couldn't get myself to care for the main character (Sieh) or his conflict (becoming mortal), which spoiled much of the book for me. It's not a bad book and NK Jemisin is to all accounts still a wonderful writer, but I wonder if I would have enjoyed this trilogy more if had only been the first book.
